Activisme & pratiques - Le Projet Droplift | Forum Libertaire.net ★ communauté militante et ressources anarchistes

Des activistes anglais ont trouvé une facon forte intéressante de distribuer de la propagande: Ils enregistrent des disque audio avec des bouts de films pour faire passer un message, ou ils prennent tout simplement des livres ou des tracts.... Et les distribuent gratuitement là où ils ont le plus de chance de se faire voir: arrêts d'autobus, librairies, magasin de disques, collèges, etc....

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Who?[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] The Droplift Project consists of nearly 30 audio collage artists from different cities. Each takes pieces of television, movies, music, or other recordings and recombines them to create works of parody, critical commentary, and new art. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

What?[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] The Droplift Project is a compilation of tracks by these audio collage artists. It has been introduced to the public through a technique called "droplifting"; this means that the discs are smuggled in and left in the racks of record stores without their knowledge.

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When?[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] The album was released on the weekend of July 28, 2000. Additional copies of the disc are still being droplifted into stores all over the world.

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Where?[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Everywhere! Droplift operatives around the globe are targeting chain stores and mass outlets where experimental and unusual music is not often sold. Or, if you can't find it, the whole album is available for free download at the official Droplift website : http://www.droplift.org/audio.html [/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

Why?[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] The Droplift Project is a way for artists to be heard, by subverting the current method of music distribution. It is a way that thought-provoking and challenging works by traditionally marginalized experimental musicians can be slipped into the mainstream consciousness. Severe copyright restrictions on the use samples in works of audio collage often prevent this type of work from ever reaching the ears of listeners. The members of the Droplift Project feel that these restrictions amount to censorship of an entire artform, and so they have created this art-response to the current relation of artists and lawmakers to the techniques of appropriation, collage, and sampling in music. The artists know that the disc may not be found by the right people, and they know that they will not get paid. But they needed a chance, so they made one. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

How?[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Anyone who is interested can help out by spreading the word or conducting droplift efforts of their own. A complete Droplift Field Guide has been prepared to explain the art of droplifting and assist in any future efforts : http://www.droplift.org/guide.html [/FONT]
